In ancient times, there were no sanitary napkins. How do women do it during the physiological period?

Although there were no sanitary napkins in ancient times, there were menstrual belts, which were the ancestors of sanitary napkins. I don't know if you have read a novel-The Shroud of Green Capsule, in which there is a big bat, and it has a baby named Riding Cloth. This riding suit is a menstrual belt. The ancients didn't have sanitary napkins now, so they used menstrual belts instead. The menstrual belt will be filled with something that can absorb water, such as cotton or plant ash. After use, take out the filler and throw it away. Wash the main parts and put in new fillers so that they can be recycled.

Rich people will use expensive materials such as silk as the main part, which is not only beautiful in shape, but also comfortable to wear. Ancient aunts also regarded menstrual belt as the most intimate thing, even more intimate than Chinese corsets. In some legends, wild monsters like to wear menstrual belts used by human women on their heads. It is said that they came to Du Jie to avoid lightning.

The ancients were superstitious. They think that women will stop having sex during the unknown month, not for the sake of women's health, but for fear of their bad luck. Wealthy wives don't say it directly when they come to the next month, but implicitly wear a ring or point a little scarlet on their faces, indicating that they can't wait on the bed these days. Of course, men, wives and concubines can still have a party every night. The palace is even more exquisite, and there is a special person to record the time of the princess's monthly affairs. After all, the emperor can't be infected with bad luck, which shows the low status of ancient women.

Wang Jian, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a poem with the theme of "menstrual towel", describing the official woman: "The spring in the imperial pool is beautiful, and the white jade canal is diverted everywhere. The king's secret play knows the moon, and the evening people accompany the dress. "

Menstrual towels were also strictly sold in ancient markets, and were basically passed down from generation to generation by mother and daughter. In ancient times, women got married early, had many children, lived short, aged early, and didn't spend much time actually using menstrual towels. Unlike modern women, they have good nutrition, less manual labor, good maintenance and are young. The ancients were going to get married in their teens, but modern people can still be babies in their thirties. This is not melodramatic, but that human beings are really getting more and more mature.

For example, when we were young, we were already helping our parents at the age of eight or nine, not to mention cooking, but also helping our mother take care of our younger brother. But today's children, who are eight or nine years old, may not even wear clothes or tie their shoelaces. This is the inevitable result of social and economic development. On the one hand, the doting of parents is the fact that human beings are becoming more and more mature psychologically and physically.

At the same time, there are different ideas. Now there are not only various sanitary napkins on the market, but also it is normal for many men to buy sanitary napkins for their partners in supermarkets. However, there is one thing I may still not accept, that is, letting male stars speak for tampons. I can barely accept men's endorsement of cosmetics and lipstick, and the endorsement of sanitary napkins is a bit grandstanding.
